Re: Dempsey Sold Official
That is clever, I hope we also learn from this.
Hopefully, we will give the hallowed 'Number 2' shirt to someone like a right back, for example. This will take the pressure off our new £26m record signing, Spanish International, Soldado. I for one, don't want him to have the monkey on his back all season of having to try to emulate the landslide 12 goals that the legendary Deuce Dempsey bagged for us in his historic and unprecedented long 12 months stay.
Giving Soldado say the 9, or 10 shirt - something with little to no significance at Spurs, and allowing Kyle Naughton to absorb the loss of Clint, seems a logical and pragmatic solution to me.
Or maybe we should just retire the number 2, a la Maldini.
There is actually a clever reason behind Gallas wearing the 10 shirt at Scumnal. The number 10 shirt had been vacated by Bergkamp, and by giving Gallas, a defender, that shirt it removed the burden of whoever had to follow Bergkamp in wearing that shirt.
